I quess she could say this without cringing. It is partly true, humans did make up the procedure, did build the tools and equipment, did run the experiments, tabulate the results, interprite, build theories, create mathematical models, test hypothsis, etc. But if there was no reliable or consistant 'reality' to extract insights from it would have all come to 'a pile of worthless crap'. If the results showed nothing more than scattergrams of no correlatons, or no underlying patterns, theism might have been safe. Sadly, for them this did not happen.

Her belly aching seems to be more likely about 'learning something'. A 'creative' writing class might have been a better choice!
